1/3 cup marshmallow creme
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped maraschino cherries
-
32 vanilla wafer cookies

4 ounces vanilla-flavor candy coating
Directions
1.
Place maraschino cherries with stems on paper towels; drain well. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside. In a small bowl, stir together marshmallow creme and chopped maraschino cherries. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the maraschino cherry mixture on the bottom of one cookie. Top with another cookie, bottom side down. Place on prepared baking sheet.

2.
In a small saucepan, heat and stir candy coating over medium-low heat until melted and smooth. Cool slightly.
